Choose an example
Membership badge or credential? A membership badge says you belong to the community. A verified credential is checked at its source and shown with that source. They are different, and paying for membership never implies certification, competence, endorsement or a safety rating.

What each membership level includes.
Paid plans are for people who want to be found and want the full career library. Free accounts are upgraded in place, with nothing to redo. We mark every benefit honestly. If paid profiles ever receive greater visibility, the placement will be labeled Sponsored, rotated under a published policy, and never guarantee first position.

My benefits
Planned Each benefit shows its real status. Nothing is promised that is not live.
Propose something
Submit a resource, a speaking idea or a community activity. See where your proposal stands.
How we handle your information
You stay in control.
Separate permissions
Public profile and marketing email each need their own yes. Joining the list does neither.
An assistant, not a gatekeeper
Membership Personal is an AI assistant that can help you write an accurate profile, explain benefits and draft a welcome message. You review and approve everything.
Edit, hide, cancel, delete
You will be able to edit your profile, change who sees it, cancel renewal and ask for deletion. A person handles deletion requests.
Honest answers
Questions
Is it really free?
A Community account is free and never asks for a card. Paid plans open soon.Paid plans are optional and are priced in the table above.
Am I a member after I sign up?
You have a free Community account with the features marked Available now. Formal membership rights, such as voting, would be defined by the Alliance's bylaws; none are offered today.
Does a badge mean I am certified or endorsed?
No. A membership badge shows participation only. Independently verified credentials are shown separately, with their source and check date.
Can I pay for better placement?
Possibly in the future. Any paid placement would be labeled Sponsored. Payment never buys endorsement, a rating, an award or a verification.
Will you promise mentoring, discounts or continuing-education credit?
No. Mentoring depends on volunteer capacity, we have no confirmed partner discounts, and we do not offer accredited continuing-education credit.
Who runs the Alliance?
It is planned as a separately governed nonprofit professional association. Formation and tax status are not yet verified. See mission and governance.
